A case of malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the thigh with liver and lung metastasis, suspicious of non-islet cell tumor-associated hypoglycemia is reported. The patient, a 76-year-old woman, was initially aware of an increasing soft tissue tumor in the left thigh, and episodes of hypoglycemia gradually developed. These frequent episodes ceased after resection of the thigh tumor, which was di...

The present study was carried out to determine the ability of Acipenser baerii in utilizing carbohydrate (dextrin) as a non protein energy source substituted with animal oil. A total of 65 juveniles A. baerii with an initial mean weight of 689 ± 62 g were distributed in 15 fiber glass tanks. Five diets were formulated including 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% of dextrin and fed  for 8 weeks. Fish were wei...

Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) inhibits neurotransmitter release in motor nerve endings, causing botulism, a condition often resulting from ingestion of the toxin or toxin-producing bacteria. BoNTs are always produced as large protein complexes by associating with a non-toxic protein, non-toxic non-hemagglutinin (NTNH), and some toxin complexes contain another non-toxic protein, hemagglutinin (HA)...

The aim of this study was to investigate the electrochemical behaviour aqueous electrolytes on thin-layer (20 µm) nanoporous carbide-derived carbon (CDC) composite fibrous directly electrospun electrodes without further carbonisation. There have been previously investigated electrodes, which are produced by applying different post-treatment processes, however makes production more expensive, co...

Objective: Meal management in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) has barriers such as miscalculation of doses, insufficient carbohydrate counting and numeracy skills. “My Friend Carbohydrate Bolus Calculator” mobile app was developed a hybrid version nutrition apps insulin titration to calculate meal’s carbs the matching bolus dose. This study investigates facilitator role on lives people with T1D. Material...
